So this is basically the confirmed GOTY right?

is anyone supposed to know who this is?

>have you even played anything this year
>doesn't list any games
retard

RE2 remake,DMC5,Sekiro,Death Stranding.
Right now I'd say Sekiro but Death Stranding might grab the cake.
The thing about Death Stranding is that it will be a better MGSV with actual cutscenes for once

Elden Ring won't be as good, and you know it.

It will if they have flails.

yes, she's bestgirl from the real goty

Anything is better than sengoku *CLANG CLANG CLANG* parry spam.

So far, yes. I do have high hopes for Death Stranding, though.

That came out last year and lost to God of War.

pretty much yeah

Could've done without the tacked on shitty stealth. Combat was excellent though.

Also a choice of say three different weapons (sword, axe, spear) would've been nice, so there was a reason to play through the game more than once.

it really is

Yes, without a doubt.

yea this year wasnt that big for gaming, eather sekiro or super smash bros.

weeb-bait for coombrains

I really love it but I'd say RE2 is the best game to come out this year.

But TLOU2 will win all the "official" awards

Have you seen the newest gameplay? The only saving grace for that shitshow will be the character creator and a few orchestral songs. The combat, world, level design, and enemies are extremely lame.

better than last year at least

GOTY is either Sekiro or Pathologic 2

It's the AAA GOTY but the secret true GOTY is Outer Wilds. I forgot about Sekiro like the day after I beat it but I still have fucking dreams about OW months later.

I'd say so, it's a mastahpiece. Feels the most unique, fresh, spirited of everything released this year. From should keep making new IPs.

My runner-ups would be KH3 and Astral Chain, despite their respective flaws. I felt like DMC's story was a bit lackluster, hurr Dante fights Vergil again, Nero is insecure. Meh.

Why did you feel the need to console war when no one had mentioned nintendo, and bring up breath of the wild no less? Pathetic.

haha i bet you want to be a woman too, fag

it's goty
but it's never going to win any awards

What quick time events? Sekiro doesn't even has quicktime events

Lmao what the fuck are you doing mentioning Blasphemous? It's a horrendously unpolished, derivative buggy piece of trash.

It's literally going to get most of the awards if Death Stranding tanks. Everything seems to be pointing at the game tanking.

you could reasonably call executions QTEs

big dlc incoming, will be revealed during the VGA, be ready

Nah, so far Resident Evil 2 Remake is winning.

nah the casuals who nominate the awards never beat the game. gears 5 will win the goty due to its sheer normie appeal and historically part of a series that once was huge

miyakisanta is a geinus, the clinga clang clang clinck gameplllaty is beyoned anything aever made be5/

no possible way is GoW winning. The only reasonable argument for it is that it's American and American reviewers are generally loath to praise Japan unless it's Nintendo.

This game feels a lot older than 6 months.

I want to believe but I don't

because it has soul and new games don't usually have that.

well if Re2Make is nominated, it will win but idk since its a remake. besides that, dmc5 and sekiro has no chance.. the pew pew lovin american """journos"" will never elect a game like dmc5 or sekiro. remember in 2016, 3 shooters were nominated yet dark souls 3 with a higher meta score wasnt even mentioned

Sekiro is definitely my favorite this year, but journos will give it to tlou 2.

Demon's souls, Dark souls and Bloodborne have won GOTYs.

>Gears will win
What the fuck? Not even Gears 3 won anything, and there's been 3 games since Gears 3. Gears is fucking dead in the water as far as popularity goes.

we are talking the game awards hosted by keighley.

all depends on if TLOU2 comes out this year which seems unlikely given they haven't announced a release date yet

Eeeeeh...no?

for a very generous definition of "quick," but otherwise it fits

yeah it really hasn't aged well

yes, just beat the sword saint and it was based. Game is hard as shit tho

You would reasonably be incorrect. QTEs require a fair few circumstances in play to be called as such, to differentiate themselves from context sensitive actions which are something else entirely, as well as any standard gameplay mechanics.

sekiro or dmc5

Yeah, when's the last time gears won anything there?

sekiro was hard to get used to at first cause souls teaches you to dodge

in sekiro you WANT to parry a lot, for posture. so once you adapt, it's really fun. and the game is much harder if you try to dodge only.

So what's the big AAA title that will most likely win most GOTYs this year? Gears 5?

its fun when uoy pres the el1 ajd are 1

It is for me, right now. The only contenders I can think of are Fire Emblem, DQXIS, Death Stranding, and KH III out of sheer popularity.

what's weird about this year is there hasn't really been a really big American game. All the more universally well-reviewed and popular games have been Japanese.

westerncucks will never give goty to a based nippon game

parrying is literally a QTE with slightly more player input, the entire game revolves around parrying until you get an execution and then doing it over again
to be fair though i stopped playing when i realized the game didn't even try to put in a little bit of effort into it's wolrd design/stealth mechanics

Nonsense. There is no button prompt or anything resembling one, it's entirely based on timing and animations. It's like calling Dark Souls rolling a QTE.

>there is nothing resembling a button prompt
>time slows down when parrying is possible
i mean sure there's no traditional prompt but you're literally pressing one button when you need to at specific times until you win

>>time slows down when parrying is possible

alright user, how is half a year closer to a full year than not-a-year instead of just being in the middle

did maybe notice that there wasn't slowdown on every deflect? He even cocked up the timing and ended up with a block instead of a deflect on one of the hits

well you see user, we're past the release date which means that we're closer to the end of the year than the start of it, it works like any other form of rounding in that instead of worrying about trying to find a specific middleground you instead just round to the nearest big number which is in this case a full year, i'm sorry that your gradeschool math teachers weren't able to teach this to you and i fully support you on your next attempt at graduating from highschool :)
yeah well that just proves my point that parries are a qte, because if you don't do them at exactly the right time you just block instead

QTEs require a button prompt. Simple as.

fuck off faggot you're a shitposter who never played the game and got caught out

i actually did pirate it when it came out but i stopped playing it when two enemies that should've fought eachother didn't even acknowledge each other's existence in favor of ganging up on me
i mean sure the rigid definition of QTE requires a button prompt, but it's effectively the same idea, you press a button in accordance with a prompt which is entirely based off of reaction time

every fucking definition of QTE requires a button prompt. Your "definition" covers basically every mechanic in video games that requires timing. Fucking jumping over spikes is apparently a QTE to you.

>two enemies that should've fought eachother
I can't even remotely fathom what you're talking about

This.

there was a boss fight with some giant ogre or some bullshit that was tied up and his guards teamed up on me with him
the problem is that jumping over spikes has more player input, while parrying is literally waiting for your opponent to reach the right point in their attack animation and then pressing a button, it'd be fine if it was just one mechanic in a deeper fighting system like in mordhau for example, but the entire game's base combat system is literally parry parry parry execution, this requires practically no actual input from the player in a non-QTE sense (movement, distance, properly responding to different types of attacks and counter attacking them)
and before you say anything yes i know that some enemies have heavy attacks that you can't parry and have to dodge but there's no real way to counter attack so you're better off just dodging and waiting for another chance to parry

>LITERALLY got filtered by Chained Ogre
oh my fucking god

>there's no real way to counter attack
man you really didn't play the game huh

>hurr game shouldnt have to put in the bare minimum to keep player immersed muh """difficulty""" is the only important thing
yeah i did and there's only a basic attack besides your parry/block

Qtes are moments that remove control from the player to make them pass an arbitrary, prompted reaction/timing test. Parrying is not that. It’s completely up to the player to use it or any other option in response to an attack. Sekiro does have qtes in the form of deathblows.

retard.

it was mediocre as fuck

you can counter perilous thrusts with Mikiri counter, which is a different input than parrying
you can counter sweeps with a jump kick, which is again a different input than parrying and Mikiri counter

A pit of spikes makes you do one thing and one thing only - jump over it. An enemy attack in sekiro can be avoided, interrupted or tanked. Arguably a pit of spikes is more of a qte in this regard

I don't even understand how you were fighting the ogre at the same time as the guards unless you wandered into the upper left area behind him without clearing it first

either that or wow classic

Already dead and forgotten. 6.5/10 on a good day

Pressing buttons is qte now. Not like it matters, last of us is gonna win every award this year

Hands down one of the worst games i've ever played and i've played a lot. To think i used to love fromsoft games.

>hurr muh mid-lategame abilities that should've been a part of the base moveset exist so you're wrong
a pit of spikes requires positioning, timing, potentially the proper amount of momentum and other factors, an enemy attack in sekiro can be avoided but that's pointless because you can't get an execution by avoiding attacks and executions are the only way to kill enemies effectively
no u

I have serious doubts TLOU is coming out this year

Jump kick is default
Mikiri counter is one of the first skills available

and now you're moving the goalposts so I think we're done here.

>Another shitty year for your "hobby"

Attached: 1506554439173.png (427x559, 307K)

Sekiro requires positioning and momentum and stuff like that just as much as a pit of spikes does. And yes you can get an execution solely from avoiding attacks and hitting them when you can, it’s called a vitality deathblow, play the game.

fuck you, this year was great. You just don't like video games anymore.

I'm going to bear sekiro before the year is over but so far even though I didn't beat it still my GOTY there's nothing coming out that can top it

I dunno, it's usually pretty obvious when the game is almost over. And "killing one of your major support NPCs" is a pretty big indicator that you're closing in on the end.

I think it's decent. But clearly not a challenger. I'd be surprised if this game is more than a 7/10 at best.

DoH and Ape are legit the only bosses that don't fit. Too large for Sekiro's sword fights. Human fights are great otherwise.

what a shitshow of a thread, holy moly

I liked it, but it definitely isn't beating Sekiro in a GotY competition
That said, I do like it more than Sekiro so far.

Ape works alright and has one of the best phase changes in Souls games, but Demon could definitely be better.

Genichiro's the guy who cut your arm off at the beginning, he comes after horse guy

It's one of those games that makes you learn the combat with a steep learning curve but when you actually got it it's like bicycle and feels really satisfying

Oh gotcha, I ran into his area without realizing it was the boss and had no resources. He definitely seems beatable though gonna give him another try later

Death stranding is goty

was MGSV not enough for you to learn to never get hyped about a game before it comes out

Don't get me wrong, Sekiro is much more polished and is objectively a better game, going off of the CV demo. However, I prefer the focus on build variety Code Vein has, and I like the edgy aesthetic.
I also find the gameplay genuinely fun

I thought it was alright but I never managed to finish it. I was already burnt out on the formula during DaS3. I barely managed to finish that and I stopped playing Bloodborne entirely at the final boss.
Sekiro is pretty different from Souls but at the same time it doesn't go far enough in any direction. There's stealth but it's kinda shit. You have some sort of combo system but not really and most unlockable moves are ass anyways. Kinda feels like a less flippin and slicin ninja gaiden prototype

Sekiro was great but a runner up to DMC5 for me. I've only played Sekiro, DMC5 and Greedfall so far. RE2 for October spooks and Blasphemous I'll start tomorrow maybe.

I'll tell you right now, Blasphemous will probably disappoint you.

Blasphemous's strongest point is its art direction. The game play is unfortunately lacking.

The demo didn't really do anything for me, so I am prepared.

It's the most shallow, one note action game released this year.Only way this could be GOTY is if you played literally no other games this years.

Isshin is dogshit, Demon of Hatred is a reskinned cleric beast you fucking nigger monkey.

if it did get GOTY, I would not complain. it's a damn strong game. I'm pretty sure it won't though as this was the year the incompetent poseurs who pretty much dominate game journalism decided to get together and a present a united front against dark souls type games

So you quit playing in the 2 seconds before you fight isshin after Emma?

He's not necessarily wrong. Sekiro is extremely focused compared to Soulsborne but consequently is that less replayable. It's a trade off you can view either favorably or not.

Yes I did. Two different bosses and a different cutscene isn't replay value if the bulk of the game remains unchanged. It didn't even do a DkS2 with revamped enemy layouts and that game was dogshit too.

I liked sekiro but DS was more fun and challenging

Value is only derived by enjoyment. There was no enjoyment besides "wow wolf is cool i guess oh he died already because he's easy as shit". Value implies it was worth my time, it wasn't, it was disappointing and the only reason I don't hold disdain for it is I got the platinum.

Whereas DMC5, I platted and continue to play to this very day, almost nightly. THAT is value, not monotonous checklisting for trophies.

You're retarded. Replayability isn't about the endings, it's about the gameplay differences you can take to have different experiences. No co-op or PvP also hurts the replayability but it would still be better even if it just had different builds but it doesn't.

Thank you, precisely my point but it's been devalued into "u got a platinum loser xD"

this just sounds stupid

sekiro wouldnt even be a challenge if there were different builds

there's not even really an opportunity to go into the menu to quit out between killing Emma and Isshin's cutscene starting

another DOOM game how original

t.anti consumer glarker of corporate cock

People keep trying to lump Sekiro in with Souls. It isn't a Souls game, its an action game with set characters and weapons. The problem is it is ultimately a poor action game, at least compared to some others. Sekiro has too much of Souls in there to not feel totally fresh but it doesn't embrace the new enough either. Its torn between what it wants to be and thus suffers.

Its not about build variety, its about combat variety. Weapons, combos, moves and abilities.

If you beat the game once already, there's 3 more endings.

>4 souls games get made in a 7 year span
*Fromfags are fucking silent

>The second Doom game in 15 years comes out
>another DOOM game how original

it's the second Doom game in three years, though.

it's one of the best action games ever made IMO. I've played very few 3d action games with one on one fights as tense and strategic

Why did this game even bother with the dogshit stealth if it was so action focused? The combat is very clearly designed around confrontational 1v1 samurai duels. It almost feels like they realized either A.) they couldn't make compelling stealth AI, or B.) they would lose their Soulsfag audience. So they just overhauled the swordplay and kept whatever was left.

I need to grind 41 skill points to 100% this game

DS is going to be, quite deliberately, a chore to play. it's not remotely comparable to sek

It won’t be. It’ll be 2020 for sure

DS is going to be close to Rust and Stalker with a twist in multiplayer cooperation in that sense.

Fucking Japanese, how can make so good games.

I guarantee half the features Kojima has promised either won't be present or will be so half-assed and anemic that you'll wish they weren't.

Nah. Sekiro is a good game, but overrated as fuck by fromdrones. it's just poor mans Ninja Gaiden Black with much more shallow combat and gameplay.

I hope your statement is wrong, but I've had my hype organ watched since 2018.

Based pre-ordered last week

DMC5, REmake 2, and Bloodstained are all much better than Sekiro. And Outer Worlds will be too

Wrong. Especially for DMC5 and Bloodstained.

DMC5 and RE2 I am perfectly willing to argue over. But Bloodstained doesn't really do anything new for its genre besides look fuckugly.

>DMC5
>Bloodstained
You're a clown.
Especially shitstained, jesus christ.

FROMSOFT never really disappoints me (except with DaS2, even then it was a fun game). Definitely GOTY for me, but realistically, it's going to be anything but Sekiro. You know how these award shows go.

Reportin back with Genichiro "beaten", definitely a fun fight I thought phase 2 was gonna last a lot longer though

good job user!

Thanks user but a quick question, which shinobi tool goes under the shuriken in tier 1. I feel like I overlooked something

Firecrackers, you buy them from the merchant after horse guy

That's what it was, I remember seeing that shit now too. Thanks

That's not Pathologic 2, so no.

There's no fucking way that magnetic kik's hitbox is so tight, this guy modded the game.

For me?
It's Ace Combat 7

I honestly think this game has a chance of winning GOTY, their past FROM games never sold just as well. What were the sales again? I know it surpassed DaS3's total sales in under a month.

I love it but risk of rain 2 is my goty with the latest update

what a chad badass player, i would never have thought of that

i remember when replay value was just enjoying a game more than once because it was a lot of fun

tomoe takeru dlc when

unfortunately it's probably not gonna happen
it sucks immensely

Should be DLC but probably won't. Sekiro was barely scrapped together with reused assets and Tenchu remains. Still came out amazing and sold millions so maybe something may come.

a full sequel based on frozen tears ending would be unbelievably kino

Return ending is obvious sequel bait but IMO Severance is the kino ending.

better ending for a self-contained story, yeah. but the idea of an odyssey across 16th/17th century china is kino

I remember that guy. Fuck that guy.
Owl showed me how trash I truly was and now he's my favorite fight.

I'm not into Samurais... sorry

>two enemies that should've fought eachother didn't even acknowledge each other's existence in favor of ganging up on me
You fucking retard.
I you played the game you would know the lore behind the chained ogre and how they are literally being used as weapons by the army because they are using the divine sediment to make fucked up super soldiers

better than roll roll roll roll swing swing die

It will be better because of co-op without pvp and a major focus on actually making a fleshed out world rather than that shie like "lol i dunno its convoluted" or "haha the past is a lie didnt you know simpleton" that is modern souls lore

how do i beat this bitch?

Attached: sekiroboss.png (1920x1080, 3.29M)

deflect then hop on her noggin when she sweeps, no real gimmicks other than going intangible sometimes

nope, it's exactly that tight.

Deflect but expect her to delay attacks and feel floaty when she assaults you. Nothing like the warriors you fight that are hard and aggressive.
Do what the other user said as well.
Keep chasing her so she is under pressure, this is your fight so you control the pace. Not her.

You can aggro her with ceramic shards from behind for a brief deathblow window IIRC

Was her boyfriend the ghost in the bridge?

I don't remember how but I used to thrash the hell out of her with the subimaru.

man I wish I had known about Subimaru when I was getting my ass kicked by the gun bitch in the swamp

yeah i hear ya
Its like mega man in that way honestly gotta get the right power to rip that boss a new ass hole

Anything else of value coming out this year besides Kino Stranding?

I don't really care if is GOTY or not. Already has a special place in my heart.

Sekiro is technically a Nio guardian

Attached: nio_naeren.jpg (185x250, 14K)

Code Vein, D55M, and Outer Worlds might be decent

If Phoenix Point comes out this year, it'll probably be worth playing.

Nah, it's too hard for "journalists", "e-celebs", and "influencers" and doesn't contain any feminist, sjw propaganda and/or gender/race diversity so it won't get much chance.

>race diversity
but there are Asian characters everywhere. There's even a black guy.

Depending on if the campaign is solid or not, Modern Warfare might have a chance

This is absolutely true. 1/4 of players will get so filtered they will refund, 1/2 of players will get so frustrated later on they will resell, and the last 1/4 will sell the game after they've finished it because there's no replayability or online.

Keep posting this everywhere so everyone knows how retarded you are.

All this shit is about selling your account not individual games.
Try to keep up at least my guy

imagine if Elden Ring integrates Sekiro combat and mobility into a more cohesive RPG framework.

imagine how good that game would be

not everyone bought Sekiro on PC, user

The directors for the two games are different, but considering the direction Dark Souls has been going in with 3 that's not an impossibility.

And most console sales are digital who cares?

It's a shinobi game, and you're applying the western concept of shinobi being just invisible assassins.

>confrontational 1v1 samurai duels
No its really not.
They are about exploiting weaknesses and cheesing the entire game in half the time a normal fight would take because why the fuck not if your in ng+

Memezaki isn't directing? That's a shame.

hes not even original so why do you keep wanting him?

He's the director on everything because his name sells, the actual grunt work is done by the Co‑Director which in Sekiro's case was Kazuhiro Hamatani.

because he directed some games I rather like

He didnt I promise.

he's the only credited director on Dark Souls and Bloodborne so that's at least two.

Fuck this faggot ass game
I can't believe I got memed into buying it

git gud

filtered

He isnt very hands on with the modern titles so only DaS1 really had his direction to it.
Theres a reason half the stuff in BB goes directly against some of his design fundamentals.

what do you mean?

one of the things he always use to make sure the people under him followed was that a creature should not be grotesque for the sake of being grotesque, that there should still be respect applied to the design and character of the monster.
BB kind of went nuts in that regard and that flew out the window.
His favorite title is KF on the playstation and thats not an easy title to stomach so its not hard to see why he makes the games the way he does. Not necessarily unfair or even too easy like some encounters we see in the later games but always challenging enough to make you pause your first time going in. Thats another thing that was lost the further we went.

Good games for sure just certain aspects are lost on the modern games and thats why I usually dont replay them as often I find.
I could go on about how almost nothing in his games is actually original and how its all just KF+berserk but thats a whole nother can of worms.

I forgot it existed

I can't really think of an enemy in BB that's grotesque for the sake of being grotesque. They all fit into the theme of the game. I can believe Miyazaki took a backseat for Sekiro, but why would there not be a co-director on Bloodborne if someone was doing things to move it away from Miyazaki's vision?

I forget anything exists when I'm not thinking of it.

I didnt necessarily mean that they are further from the vision he has created just that he had much less of a hand on approach.
Thinking back maybe is was some of the random shit in das3 that seemed like BB rejects. Most of the bosses were still on point but the BSB and One Reborn never felt like they fit with the rest of BB to me and just seemed excessive for the sake of being over the top graphically speaking.

this so far

That's called not thinking about something. Did my laptop stop existing because I was away from it until now?

not coming out til next year

it’s because they all got btfo by rdr2 and are desperately trying to steal everything they can from that game to compete. rdr2 was basically 3 years ahead of everyone else

>a generic open world game with really pretty graphics was 3 years ahead of its time
I guess

Youre not wrong, oblivion did the same thing to everyone back when 360 was just a baby.
No other games had a massive open world with physics based clutter ragdolls on everything background AI to fake a living cityfully fleshed out day night cycles and so on.
Now it all seems so standard but compared to what it came out next to oblivion was ahead as fuck. Then they just kept making the same game with a new skin sadly.

Wonder what next gens thing will be

In the sum of its parts and immersion it absolutely is. Rockstar stuck to their vision even to a fault. Some hate it but I've come to appreciate it.

Unironically it's Three Houses

Wow what the hell. I just beat Sword Saint and I thought this was going to be way harder.

I had heard a while ago that the final boss had 4 phases, which I interpreted as meaning 4 totally unique forms. But that person I heard from apparently just meant 4 deathblow bars, so I beat the final boss while thinking I was still only half way done. This feels like a ruined orgasm.

Attached: 1551422313215.png (365x473, 187K)

I forgot this game came out this year

I mean, he does technically have four phases. It's just the fourth phase isn't all that different from the third.

Now do a NG run Charmless/Demon Bell

I mean I thought Isshins sword form, spear form, and lightning form together were all just the second phase (Genichiro being the first) and that there were still 2 entirely different fights afterward. Like there'd be cutscenes between each one. But nope, each healthbar alone was a phase.

Not that he wasn't a tough boss, but I sat down thinking I'd be trying to beat him all night and now I just did it in less than an hour.

well that happens. Some people just have different ideas of what phase means.

Huh I guess every game is just quick time events. Never thought of it that way.

>ctrl F
>no slay the spire
Sekiro is my game of a year, but the only game I would put any where near Sekiro as of right now is Slay the Spire.

Slay the Spire is great but it also came out two years ago

RDR2 is a deeply immersive experience and the free roam is genuinely fun, but the on rails missions and clunky controls really hold it back from being a true masterpiece.

I don't know if it matters, but official release date was Jan 2019. It was in Beta purgatory forever.

well it's not like indie games will ever win GOTY so I guess it doesn't really matter

but if I had to pick a 2019 indie game for GOTY I'd probably pick Baba Is You over Slay the Spire

It is perfectly normal gameplay for good players with good reaction time.

Yeah right faggot. Like you use the duck button in combat.

I use it accidentally when I'm deathgripping the controller

Does it get better / more challenging later or is it just we've all gotten very good at this sort of game due to it being the same engine?

if you can beat Genichiro you can beat the game, although Sword Saint and Dad might take some doing.

They were always the same difficulty user.

He's mixed, Emma's mixed and Armored Warrior's conquistador motif definitely hails from Iberia. Chained Ogre also seems western in the face and blonde hair. Kinda cool to see all that despite the encroaching isolationist Edo period time wise.

There's another option?

you can send Kotaro but it's the absolute worst thing to do with him

there were actually people from portugal and missionaries from western countries in feudal japan, so it fits. it's appropriate diversity

Yes

Nah, game's hardly memorable and the combat is too simplistic. Solid 7/10 but nothing i'll remember after this year.

And for the record of this thread. The true classic FROM challenge lives in NG+ with the demon bell and charmless.

Which make Immortal Severance ending not the final true ending

Attached: Screenshot_207.png (860x592, 1.35M)

how would that preclude Immortal Severance?

Because IM it is the "official ending" that is obtained in the first cycle, but the true spirit, the true strength that lies in the creation of any FROM titles is in the next iteration, so Immortal Severance it is the divertion, the distractor for those who leave the game without experiencing its true face.

NG+ has NOTHING to do with the first run. It's a totally different experience that forces you to face the game in a completely new way.

why am I such an idiot to not think of that

Third person action games are my favorite genre yet this game did not click with me at all.

Me, I prefer the struggle and life gets better as men get older

It looks better at first, but it's the joy of a soulless slave. Once you understand, you'll see being born a man was the greatest gift God could have given you.

I'm probably going to kill myself if my hair gets any thinner

Nah that was patched

If we're going by quality:
>Doom Eternal
If we're going by what will actually win the most awards
>Kojima's walking sim

Love the game although they could've slightly decreased the cost of certain prosthetics.
And perhaps 2 special moves instead of 1 for better combos.

Keep in mind you're playing on easymode, user.

One thing that every faggot who boasts about how easy it is, and other faggots who complain that you can spam parry to win always seem to forget is, you're playing on easymode by default.

>Copy paste From trash with a rhythm game parry
Death Stranding will be GOTY Pćucks

>a fucking walking simulator

its sengoku period, mate, and a lot of gaijins lived in japan for trading and missionizing. "isolated" just happened after that because hideyoshi found out some western people were selling Japanese slaves to overseas and trying to use their religious power to counter his power. there were many catholic people includings some daimyos

by the way that discourse that Japan was iaolated in Edo era is turned out not necessarily correct according to recent studies

If this was a western game all of that would just be a QTE

It'll be snubbed by some movie just like Bloodborne

>So this is basically the confirmed GOTY right?
That is pushing it. Neutered game to be GOTY lmao

Sekiro is a glorified yet very simple Rhythm game.

the stealth is definitely ass, but the biggest gripe for me is the exploration sucks

Every From game has felt like a disappointment after Bloodborne

Some self-proclaimed "gitgud" gamers who thought they were chosen ones just because they could beat some old fromsoftware games are now crying over this game being too difficult or not having "muh RPG elements" and "replayability" (seriously, why did these fagots think they could reach to the true state of gitgud despite now whining about these non-gitgud elements), but in fact this game has became the most important video game that fromsoft has ever created, and one of the most revolutionary action games ever created as well. Just get away, nu-GOW. I will say Its importance is equal to demons souls, and DMC1.

It's literally copernican revolution of the genre that is calld action games. Instead of tyring to dodge and evade an attack of enemies in your normal action games, you must be going to face off enemies head-on, with the true skill of swords. "Hesitation is Defeat".

But contrary to this true values that true games appreciate in this game, the game will not get GOTY unfortunately considering the current political state in which this game is treated with some western jounalists, and at what point is the game mostly being talked in media.

It's because the arena is way smaller.

Something alonf the lines of "let go" and you're too heavy", except the Slayer of Demons is saying something like "It's good to finally have someone who can fly"

It's shallow and trite like every other FROM release after Demons' Souls, which was just shallow with a few redeeming qualities.
